Annual Bass Pro Shops Marathon Set For Sunday

The annual Bass Pro Shops Fitness series is set for this Sunday in Springfield.

Officials say over 1,700 runners have already signed up for the event, and there will be some new COVID 19 rules in place.

Speaking to our news partner KY 3 TV, Bass Pro’s Mellissa Bondy says there will also be temperature screenings conducted before the race starts.

She says they had to reduce the number of runners allowed in this year’s event, however the race is still a qualifier for the Boston Marathon.
